Splitting up your movies for Youtube

As you might know, Youtube has a time limit for movies. They only allow a max. duration of 10 minutes each movie you upload. There is also a 100MB limit foreach movie but that wasn’t my problem here.

After some searching I found out that it’s pretty simple doing this with Sabayon Linux without installing any additional packages.
Given my movie (full_movie.avi) is a length off 00:18:49 I would need to split this.

create the first part:mencoder -endpos 00:10:00 -ovc copy -oac copy test-001.avi -o part_1.avicreate the second part that starts at 00:10:00mencoder -ss 00:10:00 -endpos 00:20:00 -ovc copy -oac copy test-001.avi -o part_2.avi
From here you can obviously continue until you split up the entire movie.
